Set title of created note to GCal date

[mgorfer]

I have a template Templates/GCal-event-template.md which works already pretty well.

---
type: event
location: "{{gEvent.location}}"
date_all_day: "{{gEvent.start.date}}"
date_start: "{{gEvent.start.dateTime}}"
date_end: "{{gEvent.end.dateTime}}"
MOCs:
  - "[[Events MOC]]"
  - "[[<% tp.date.now('YYYY-MM-DD-dddd') %>]]"
summary:
---
<% await tp.file.move("/Extras/Events/" + tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") + " " + tp.file.title) %>
# [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") + " " + tp.file.title %>]]
{{gEvent.description}}

Adding the following description to an event in my Google calendar, I specify creation folder and template.

Meeting my friends [[Friend A]] and [[Friend B]] for a tasty ramen
:Extras/Events-obsidian-GCal-event-template:

Uses my template and creates the following note with the tile 2023-09-24 Tasty Ramen:

event-id: 123456789
type: event
location: "Tasty Ramen Place"
date_all_day: ""
date_start: "2023-09-24T13:30:00+02:00"
date_end: "2023-09-24T14:30:00+02:00"
MOCs:
  - "[[Events MOC]]"
  - "[[2023-09-24-Sunday]]"
summary:

# [[2023-09-24 Tasty Ramen]]

I would like to just improve one thing.

1. Change the date of the created note, the linked MOC, and the Title to the GCal event date.

Is there an easy way for me to do that? And are there any other things which are missing in my template?

Hi, because you use templater you can use window.moment to format the dates.
Here is an example that should achive the required things.

---
type: event
location: "{{gEvent.location}}"
date_all_day: "{{gEvent.start.date}}"
date_start: "{{gEvent.start.dateTime}}"
date_end: "{{gEvent.end.dateTime}}"
MOCs:
  - "[[Events MOC]]"
  - "[[<% window.moment('{{gEvent.start.date}}' != '' ? '{{gEvent.start.date}}' : '{{gEvent.start.dateTime}}').format('YYYY-MM-DD-dddd') %>]]"
summary:
---
<% await tp.file.move("/Extras/Events/" + window.moment('{{gEvent.start.date}}' != '' ? '{{gEvent.start.date}}' : '{{gEvent.start.dateTime}}').format('YYYY-MM-DD') + " " + tp.file.title) %>
# [[<% window.moment('{{gEvent.start.date}}' != '' ? '{{gEvent.start.date}}' : '{{gEvent.start.dateTime}}').format('YYYY-MM-DD') + " " + tp.file.title %>]]
{{gEvent.description}}

You are using templater to rename the note. You could use the event note name setting to achieve this.

Thank you for your help!
I simplified your code a bit more (hope that I did not include some bugs) and now I have this:
Event Note Name Format = {{event-date}} {{event-time}}

type: event
location: "{{gEvent.location}}"
date_all_day: "{{gEvent.start.date}}"
date_start: "{{gEvent.start.dateTime}}"
date_end: "{{gEvent.end.dateTime}}"
MOCs:
  - "[[Events MOC]]"
  - "[[<% window.moment('{{gEvent.start.dateTime}}').format('YYYY-MM-DD') %>]]"
summary:
---
# [[<% tp.file.title %>]]
{{gEvent.description}}

which produces this

event-id: 1234569
type: event
location: ""
date_all_day: ""
date_start: "2023-09-26T14:00:00+02:00"
date_end: "2023-09-26T15:00:00+02:00"
MOCs:
  - "[[Events MOC]]"
  - "[[2023-09-26]]"
summary:
---
# [[2023-09-26 Fancy Event]]
Because it is Fancy!

I think this is now a very basic template which can be used for all kinds of different events and meetings.

Would you like me to open a Merge Request and add it to the README? Or to a different folder containing possible templates?
As a new user (I am also new to Obsidian and Java), it is still very confusing to start using this plugin and start building your own templates.

Also, I would like to add information about what kind of variables you can use in the Event Note Name Format ({{}} {{event-time}}).

Hi,
the template looks good, but with the simplification, you can only use it for Non-All Day Events.
A contribution is always appreciated ^^, especially when it comes to documentation. In the project folder is docs folder that builds the documentation page. Maybe you can add a page for the event notes with the examples there.

So that is what the mysterious code is doing! I will re-add your implementation to enable All-Day-Events too!

I will try to integrate my MR it nicely into the docs folder!
